Quick answer: all-girl cheer refers to teams made up entirely of female athletes, competing as a separate division from coed teams, which include both male and female athletes.

What Does This Division Mean?

"All-girl" describes team composition rather than skill level - the division exists so that all-female teams compete against other all-female teams, keeping competition fair given the typical differences in team composition between all-girl and coed teams.

How It Differs From Coed Divisions

All-girl divisions are historically the more traditional and widespread format in cheerleading, particularly at the school level. At the same numbered level, all-girl and coed divisions may permit slightly different stunt or tumbling elements, reflecting the different typical team composition.

Division / Governing Body Differences

Whether all-girl and coed are treated as fully separate divisions, and exactly what skill differences apply between them, varies between governing bodies and competition providers. Always check your specific governing body's current rules.
